Hi everyone, I want to start a scanner group with a purpose. Disclaimer, we all have a purpose in mind when we make a group, but this one has a very amazing purpose.
I want to start one where we translate manga that has not been given a chance. I mean, we all hate when groups don't start what they finish, and the only way to fix it is to either ask the group or do it yourself.
There's been plenty of manga dropped for little to no reason (except time). I know some are the mangaka's delay. But most are just dropped willy nilly. I also want us to be the group where people go to for help with their favorite manga because some other group dropped it. But, I know it'll be super hard to do a ton of projects at once, so maybe we'll release 1 requested manga once a month?

I'm looking for a couple of translators (As many as we can get is great)
I would like ones for Manga and Manwha, so for Korean and Japanese. If you are a Chinese translator, we could use you for a manhua.
Cleaners,
Quality Checkers
Typesetters,
Proofreaders, and any other miscellaneous position you want to fill.

You can post here, or PM me if you want to help or ask questions.

I don't know what to call this group because it's literally for any type of manga, as long as it's dropped or not touched. So if you have a suggestion for the name, please tell me.

If you do join this group, please write down you email address so I can send you your part of the new manga. 😀

Lemon Tea Scans is a group which works exclusively on dropped manga. I know they could use the help if you're interested. It would be easier to join an established group than it would be to start a new one. http://lemonteascans.wordpress.com/.

Just one thing, I'd like to make another group for the purpose so there will be more people working on dropped mangas.

I'm glad that there's other groups focusing on dropped manga, besides lemon tea(not that i have anything against them), it's just that i'd never read most of what they translate(yaoi,Josei, etc). Selfish, yes i know, but that's just human nature ^^;
